Chapter 364 Lovesickness
At this moment, on the distant sea, a ship slowly sailed towards this side, its hull cutting through the calm sea surface, leaving a long white splash of water.
Murong Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. This time, he was sure that his mother was on this ship.
He ran eagerly to a big rock nearby, stood on tiptoe with great effort, stretched his neck, and looked out without blinking.
"Uncle Chu, look, I saw my mother!" Murong Chen shouted excitedly, his voice full of unconcealable joy.
This time, Murong Chen was no longer waiting in vain.
On the deck, the figure standing against the sea breeze, with an upright and elegant posture, who else could it be but the mother he has been thinking about all the time?
Murong Ling'er was wearing a white dress, the sleeves of which fluttered gently in the sea breeze, her hair also flew freely, and her whole body exuded a unique charm.
Chu Lingfeng straightened his body, his eyes as if attracted by a magnet, fixed on the approaching figure.
In the past year, for countless days and nights, the lovesickness hidden in his heart now surged into his heart like a surging tide, making his heart heavy, but with a hint of sweet expectation.
On the deck, even though there was a vast sea between them, Murong Ling'er immediately noticed the two familiar figures on the dock.
She was slightly startled, then the corners of her lips lifted slightly, revealing a gentle smile. Her originally cold and beautiful face suddenly became lively like a flower blooming in spring.
Li Yunyi, who was standing aside like a wooden stake, caught a glimpse of this smile from the corner of his eye. He was stunned for a moment as if he had been cast under a spell.
Then, he followed Murong Ling'er's gaze and saw an island shrouded in sunlight in the distance.
Before this, he didn't know where Murong Ling'er was going to take him, and he never asked much. Now, looking at the island in the distance, Li Yunyi frowned slightly.
Before he went crazy, he had read a lot of geography books and knew that the island was where the court exiled criminals. He couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart. He didn't expect that she would bring him here.
Is this the base where those behind the scenes plot their conspiracy?
Li Yunyi was immersed in his own fantasies when he suddenly heard a clear and joyful cry.
"Mother, mother, Chen'er is here..."
Before the ship even docked, Murong Chen was already dancing with excitement, wishing he could grow a pair of wings so he could rush over and dive into his mother's warm arms.
After growing up, Murong Chen was rarely so lively, and rarely separated from Murong Ling'er for such a long time. At this moment, driven by excitement, he completely showed his childish nature.
Unlike Murong Chen's indescribable excitement, Chu Lingfeng remained calm and silent.
He stood there quietly, his deep black eyes always fixed on Murong Ling'er, as if he wanted to make up for the time he had missed in the past year. He looked her up and down carefully.
After a long while, his gaze slowly fell on the beggar who was very close behind Murong Ling'er.
It was because Li Yunyi's outfit was too different from others. His tattered clothes and disheveled hair gave off an aura of desolation. Everyone looked at him curiously.
If they hadn't seen him following Murong Ling'er closely, everyone would have almost thought that this beggar had boarded the ship by mistake.
Li Yunyi was also stunned at this moment. He stared blankly at Chu Lingfeng standing on the shore, muttering to himself involuntarily.
"King Chu?"
Although his voice was not loud, it was still clearly audible in the relatively quiet dock.
When the people around heard these two words, they instantly fell silent, their eyes moving back and forth between Li Yunyi and Chu Lingfeng.
"careful!"
Just when everyone had not yet recovered from the sudden exclamation, Li Yunyi's face was filled with shock, his mind went blank for an instant, he suddenly stepped on empty air, his body suddenly tilted, and he was about to fall into the bottomless sea.
In the blink of an eye, a slender but powerful hand reached out quickly, firmly grasped his arm and lifted him up.
"Walk carefully and watch the road." Murong Ling'er frowned slightly, a trace of worry flashed across her face. She directly picked up the light Li Yunyi and walked down the deck, put him on the ground, and whispered a warning.
Li Yunyi didn't even bother to look at the road. He staggered towards Chu Lingfeng.
But his body was too weak due to long-term illness and wandering. After running a short distance, his legs suddenly went soft and he fell to his knees with a plop, right in front of Chu Lingfeng.
Chu Lingfeng looked at the person who suddenly bowed to him with a confused look on his face, completely bewildered. The people around him also looked at each other, not knowing what this sudden scene was all about.
On the dock, the sea breeze was still blowing slowly, carrying a hint of salty and damp air.
Chu Lingfeng and Li Yunyi were in a stalemate and fell into a strange silence for a while. This sudden situation caught everyone present off guard.
Murong Chen, who was just full of excitement and leaning in Murong Ling'er's arms like a happy little deer, was now as if cast under a spell. He opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and looked at the scene in front of him with a blank face.
Chu Lingfeng was the first to come back to his senses. His face darkened slightly. He reached out and grabbed Li Yunyi's arm and pulled him up with force.
Li Yunyi's knees had hit the ground hard in his panic, and they were still aching. He could only rely on Chu Lingfeng's strength to stand up tremblingly, his body still shaking slightly.
When Li Yunyi looked at the man in front of him closely, he realized that Chu Lingfeng was so young. This definitely couldn't be the King Chu in his memory.
But there was a certain charm between his eyebrows and eyes that was very similar to that of the King of Chu.
He was thinking rapidly in his mind, and suddenly he was struck by lightning. His eyes were instantly filled with astonishment, and he looked at Chu Lingfeng in disbelief.
"Are you Chu Lingfeng, the prince of Prince Chu's Mansion?" Li Yunyi's voice trembled slightly due to excitement and shock.
As soon as these words came out, Chu Lingfeng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the aura around him changed instantly, as if he had suddenly entered a cold winter from a mild spring day.
A beggar who exudes an aura of destitution can actually be recognized at a glance. The origin of this beggar is definitely not simple.
Thinking of this, Chu Lingfeng subconsciously turned his head to look at Murong Ling'er, with a hint of inquiry and vigilance in his eyes.
"Let's go back and talk later."
Murong Ling'er naturally understood that there were many people talking at the moment, and she didn't want to expose Li Yunyi's identity because of a momentary negligence, so she gently took Murong Chen's hand and walked towards the courtyard first.
The Golden Eagle King spread his huge wings and followed them like a loyal guard, attracting everyone's attention and whispers along the way.
Returning to the courtyard after a year's absence, this time with the majestic Golden Eagle King, he naturally attracted countless curious eyes along the way.
